Description

The Caran d’Ache 849 Fountain Pen brings a contemporary interpretation to the traditional fountain pen, combining the unmistakable design of the iconic 849 collection with the precision and craftsmanship associated with Swiss writing instruments. Building on the success of the original 849 Ballpoint Pen, this fountain pen retains the distinctive hexagonal silhouette while introducing a refined fountain pen writing experience suited to modern lifestyles.

Crafted from lightweight aluminium, the hexagonal barrel offers an excellent balance of strength, comfort, and portability. Its durable electrostatic powder-coated finish provides resistance to everyday wear while giving each colour its distinctive appearance. The carefully designed snap-on cap fits securely over the nib and can be posted on the end of the barrel, making the pen practical for writing at a desk or on the move.

At the heart of the 849 Fountain Pen is a stainless steel nib engineered to deliver a smooth writing experience with a responsive feel. Available in Extra Fine (EF), Fine (F), and Medium (M) nib sizes, the pen accommodates different handwriting styles and preferences. Whether used for precise notes, everyday correspondence, journaling, or extended writing sessions, the 849 Fountain Pen offers an enjoyable combination of control and fluidity.

Designed for convenience and versatility, the pen accepts international standard fountain pen ink cartridges and is supplied with one Caran d’Ache Magnetic Blue ink cartridge. Its barrel also provides space for a spare cartridge, making it particularly practical for daily use. For those who prefer bottled inks, a compatible piston converter is available separately. Caran d’Ache recommends its Chromatics ink collection for optimal ink flow and writing performance, offering a selection of expressive colours to personalise the writing experience.

The 849 Fountain Pen is available in two distinctive colour collections. The Classic Collection features timeless White, Black, Blue, and Red finishes, while the Fluo Collection introduces vibrant Orange, Pink, Green, and Yellow options. From understated professional styling to bright contemporary colours, the range offers a finish to complement individual tastes.

Manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland, the Caran d’Ache 849 Fountain Pen reflects the brand’s longstanding commitment to quality, precision, and thoughtful design. Presented in a cardboard gift box and backed by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty, it makes a practical everyday writing companion and a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates beautifully crafted stationery.

Care and Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and performance of your Caran d’Ache 849 Fountain Pen, avoid excessive mechanical force and exposure to aggressive or corrosive chemicals. Protect the pen from extreme temperatures and significant pressure changes, which may cause fountain pen ink to leak. Regular cleaning and the use of suitable fountain pen inks will help maintain consistent ink flow and reliable writing performance.
